There was a novel thing: a victory! If the A's keep winning the finale of every series, and no other games, they'll be in terrible shape. On the other hand, if they can guarantee they win the finale of every series and then win some other games here and there, they'll be in great shape. Neither of these things will happen, so I guess let's talk about what actually did occur in this pitcher's duel of a victory.
This final score is one we should probably expect to see a lot this year -- the defense and pitching are as good as ever (ignore my comments from the previous recaps about the shaky defense and the bad bullpen -- they had bad games, but the talent is the talent) and the offense, Willingham, Matsui, and DeJesus or not, isn't going to be a Sox-Yankees-like masterwork. J.D. Drew was Boston's seventh hitter today, and when Jed Lowrie joins the lineup somewhere in the middle of this year (Marco Scutaro isn't long for this Earth), he'll hit eighth or ninth. By contrast, tonight's number five hitter for the A's was Kevin Kouzmanoff.
Fortunately, Trevor Cahill was a monster. The big baby-faced assassin threw nasty curves, good changes, and used his tailing and sinking fastball to great effect, getting ground balls and strikeouts galore. I wondered about starting him over Brett Anderson as the "number one" starter -- to the extent these things matter, Anderson's probably the better pitcher. But Cahill's showing that who's better may be one of those relative things that doesn't actually matter, like hamburgers and burritos. Who could rank these things?
Instead of worrying about such trivialities, let's enjoy a day with no defensive atrocities, no bullpen meltdowns, and only moderate Kouzmanoff Fail. In other words, a win.
The boxes and notes!
Player | PA | TOB | wRAA | WPA |
Crisp (CF) | 4 | 0 | -1.024 | .008 |
Barton (1B) | 4 | 2 | .552 | -.013 |
Jackson (RF) | 4 | 1 | -.312 | .107 |
Willingham (LF) | 4 | 1 | -.464 | -.083 |
Kouzmanoff (3B) | 4 | 0 | -1.024 | -.122 |
Matsui (DH) | 4 | 2 | .248 | -.025 |
--Sweeney (PR) | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Suzuki (C) | 4 | 1 | -.008 | -.016 |
LaRoche (2B) | 3 | 1 | -.056 | .159 |
--Ellis (PH, 2B) | 1 | 1 | 0.456 | -.022 |
Pennington (SS) | 4 | 1 | -.312 | -.071 |
Crisp's positive WPA comes, presumably, his steals of second and base in the eighth inning of a tied ballgame, rather than the "RBI" strikeout he racked up that tied the game in the first place. Crisp swung over and through a lot of pitches in this game -- his three strikeouts were no fluke.
Barton was the subject of a nice deke by shortstop John McDonald, one which might well be so common as to be boring, but which I had seen used in this circumstance before. Barton ripped a shot past the first baseman and into foul territory in right. Juan Rivera came up with his cannon blazing, but he misaimed -- the ball went about a million feet over anyone's head. In an effort to confuse Barton and/or get him to stay safely at second if the throw rolled anyway somewhere, McDonald acted as if a throw was there or coming. Barton did in fact slide. (The ball also didn't get away from the Jays, so maybe the whole play turned out to be, from this hindsight perspective, unnecessary.)
Either way, a ringing double and a walk, in this kind of run-scoring environment, is enough for Offensive Player of the Game.1
Conor Jackson had a nice game, overcoming a double-play in the first inning to hit a couple of balls fairly hard, the first for an out and the second for the go-ahead single that brought Coco Crisp in from third.
Even better for a guy not known for his defense, he made a tremendous catch on a sinking liner in the sixth that, had he let it drop (or, even worse, get past him), would likely have allowed a run to score, and the inning to continue. Obviously, since the A's only won by one, that run was crucial.
It's possible, by the way, that a real right-fielder (say, David DeJesus) would have made the play a lot easier, not having to make an awkward-looking dive to keep the ball off the ground, but that's a tough thing to evaluate, especially on TV.
Josh Willingham, the offensive star of the team so far, didn't have a good game with the bat, swinging and missing seven times by my count. If he wasn't bailed out by a two-strike hit-by-pitch on a changeup that got away from Jason Frasor, his day might look even worse. He did do a nice job turning into the Frasor pitch, for what it's worth -- sometimes the instinct, even on a slow pitch drifting inward fairly low, is to duck out of the way. Willingham avoided that and got himself a trip to first for his troubles.
Kevin Kouzmanoff batted fifth. That is all.
Kurt Suzuki earned Worst Swing Of The Night honors for his whiff on a fastball that missed badly from Ricky Romero in the 7th inning. The pitch came down and in, nowhere near the strike zone, and Suzuki took a giant hack at it. Even if he'd made contact, he'd probably have just hit a ground ball, so it's not the kind of pitch I'd advise him selling out on in the future.
Andy LaRoche made his third straight start at his third different position because Mark Ellis apparently had some sort of ear issue. Ellis, though, pinch-hit for LaRoche in the ninth (and got himself a single). I'm not entirely sure that's the best decision in the world -- I prefer Ellis playing defense over anyone, of course, but LaRoche has looked rather adequate with the bat, and Ellis is nothing more than a singles hitter. Why not just bring Ellis to the field in the bottom of the ninth?
Pitcher | Outs/TBF | Str/Pit | K | UBB | HR |
Cahill | 24/27 | 68/105 | 7 | 0 | 0 |
Fuentes | 3/4 | 7/10 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Trevor Cahill is never going to be the kind of strike-throwing pitcher that Dallas Braden was in Game 5 (64/88), but note Cahill's seven strikeouts in 27 batters vs. Braden's three in 30. Cahill isn't always sure where his curve is going to go, and the movement on his fastball and change sometimes bring the ball over the fat part of the plate, which by my notes happened six or seven times in this game. He only got hurt on it once, though (Arencibia's smashed double to the warning track in left), and the ball was only hit hard twice (said double and an Encarnacion fliner in the 7th that luckily went right at Coco Crisp in center) on those kinds of pitches. The extreme movement on the pitches makes it at least as hard for the batters to square the ball up as it does for Cahill to make sure the ball doesn't end up right down the middle.
Brian Fuentes, who the Blue Jays announcers2 said has been dealing with blister issues, was solid. He worked the inner half on Rajai, Nix, and Lind, and even Lind's line-drive single was taken the other way, not hit with stuff is always uninspiring to me, but he's been an effective pitcher, so sometimes you have to put the aesthetics aside.

Schwarzenegger said in a statement that he found no compelling reason to block Cooper's Feb. 10 execution for the 1983 hatchet murders of four people, two of them children, in a Chino Hills home.
Cooper's case has included allegations that San Bernardino County police tampered with evidence, but Schwarzenegger said there was no evidence to back up the assertion, and he noted that recent DNA tests placed Cooper at the bloody crime scene.
If the death sentence is carried out as scheduled, Cooper would be the 11th California inmate executed since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

Impact of Burst Assembly Algorithms on Data Loss in OBS Networks Under Time-Correlated Traffic Input
Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, Vol. 2, Issue 12, pp. 1063-1076 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (712 KB)
We develop a computational framework to study the impact of burst assembly algorithms on the byte loss rate (ByLR) of an OBS network under bursty (ON–OFF) IP traffic input. First we propose a computational method to analyze the characteristics of assembled bursts in terms of burst length and/or burst assembly time distribution under timer-based, burst-threshold-based, and dual-threshold-based burst assemblers. The unique feature of our analytical model is that it can capture the effect of source burst duration (average ON time) on the statistical characteristics of the assembled bursts for all the aforesaid burst assemblers. We then derive the expressions for ByLR for these assembly schemes using the characteristics of assembled bursts as obtained above. This enables us to compare the performance of the burst assemblers under identical traffic scenarios and the impact of source burst duration on loss for each of the above assembly schemes. To our knowledge, such an analytical scheme is not yet available. Using the framework, we also illustrate the loss surfaces for each of the above assembly schemes against load-correlation axes. We also demonstrate how to obtain constant loss contours on the load-correlation plane of a parameterized burst assembler so that the result can be used to dynamically adapt the assembly parameters. The results show that the ByLR increases with an increase in the source burst duration for all the above-mentioned assemblers, but the rate of increase is the least in the case of the burst-threshold-based assembler. It is also observed that the ByLR for the timer-based assembler is the highest and that for the burst-threshold-based assembler is the lowest under identical traffic and latency scenarios.

Rub Peter. Lay Paul.
By Charles Alexander
Originally printed 2/21/2013 (Issue 2108 - Between The Lines News)
Parting Glances
For whatever reason of erotic senescence or jaded performance acumen - emphasis on syllable three - I've been giving online erotica a clinical look. (Yeah, sure, Mary.)
Porn's our 21st century version of the carnival sideshow; or, as it was known in earlier decades, the freak show. Indeed, it's amazing the creative things that enterprising exhibitionists can do with cucumbers, cumquats, road cones. But not necessarily in that order.
I'm sure there's a golden opportunity dawning, with no end of willing participants - who do come in all shapes, sizes, proclivities - to inaugurate a 2020 Sexual Olympics, provided Rebiblicans, who at bottom are really strange bed fellows, don't mandate videotaping in the Oval Office.
(By the way: it's almost requisite for presidential candidates to talk about their religious beliefs. One would think that the same should apply to sexual proclivities, now that Bill Clinton set a precedence during his final year in office. "Mitt, have you ever deviated from the plural wives missionary position. If so, how? On shore or off? Tax free or otherwise?)
I've lived long enough to be amazed at the sexual revolution that's taken place since Kinsey's 1948 sex study bombshell, a revolution in film, print media, Broadway musicals, TV talk shows, and, much more importantly, the internet - with an estimate range of 20,000 to 7 million x-rated sites. It blows one's mind. Frequently.
When I was a kid my folks were hush hush. Sex wasn't discussed at school, church, publicly. (I do remember, however, going through our neighborhood with other engaging seven-year-olds shouting fuck! fuck! fuck! We didn't know what fuck meant, other than it bugged grownups big time.)
I must have been about eight or nine when I saw my first "dirty picture," courtesy of a twelve-year-old friend. I found the naked guy intriguing. His partner, incidental. Go figure.
In middle school I peeped at my first Tijuana Bible ("illustrated comic booklets, the kind men like"). Secretly shared for a hot minute. If caught I risked expulsion and an embarrassing parental visitation. Who knows? Maybe jail.
A recent anthology, "The Best of Sexology: the Illustrated Magazine of Sex Science" (Running Press) brought back other memories. Founded in 1933, it was America's first sex magazine. As a preteen I found a copy of it hidden under the cushion of our living room chair.
The bazaar pictures in that 25-cent monthly were slightly horrific to me: "elephantiasis of the testicles." Big balls or not, I flipped through it every chance I could get my sticky fingers on it. Early on I was confused. Do my folks actually do that? No way!
The Running Press anthology includes: Extra Breasts in Women, Priapism, Pregnant Men, When Midgets Marry, Twin Beds or Single, Humans With Tails, Why Do Men Do It? (cross dress), Sex Desire for Shoes, Odor Fetishist, GI Paratrooper War Hero Returns a Woman, Homosexual Chickens.
Quote from the homo chickens commentary: "The lowest ranking cock may be psychologically castrated, in the sense that he may refrain completely from any sexual behavior as a result of social suppression." Come to think of it, maybe these unplucked fowls were really ex-gays.
Sorta capons for Jesus. No cock-a-doodle-do. No heavenly St. Peter, too.

I wouldn't actually upload this to Newgrounds, if it wasn't for the fact that I know no other site that loops audio as smoothly :)
Windows Media Player certainly doesn't do the job for me.
You don't really need to waste your time by reviewing this one. I only made this as a (very) short project in like half an hour, since I couldn't really go to sleep. Let's see whether this loops well or not ;)
Well, this certainly doesn't loop as well as it could. I blame Audacity :p
I manually converted the Wave file into an Mp3 using Audacity, and as good as Audacity is, considering it's free, there are certain issues. (I'm talking about that irritating click sound :D).
(Another reason for the failed loop is that the beginning and the end of the song are slightly too different for one not to notice the transition).
- Oh, btw. I used Alchemy Player for the melody (Square), and Halion Sonic SE for those background strings. Then I boosted the sound slightly with UpStereo.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
A nice little loop. If you wanna get rid of that clicky sound you can use automation to quickly bring the volume down at the end of the loop
I remember you :p You did a loop in the style of Crash Bandicoot music :D (among other things).
Thanks for the tip! I actually already tried that after exporting, without much success, but I'll try to do it using the automation on the original file next time!
Thanks for the review :D


text: As a fly fisherman I look forward to Autumn. Not because the aspens are changing up the canyon, or the Kokanee or the big browns running up the Dream Stream...but because the carp fishing is always at its best. There are several reason the local carp fishing will improve later in the season. The nights are getting cooler, thus the water temperature is steadily dropping. These cooler water temps mean less bug and critter activity...the bitty creatures are beginning to go dormant for longer periods of time every day. Less of this means carp are needing to hunt for food longer--so it is much more probable you will find hungry and vulnerable fish. Approach the mud flats cautiously and try to get as close to the wallowing carp as you can. (Proper colored clothing helps!) They will often be very easy to spot...because they will be up in water so shallow their backs will all be out of the water. But, again...be cautious! You need to get in close and make a short, but accurate cast past them and twitch the fly past their nose. Keep your rod tip high so the leader doesn't touch their back!

Universal human traits: The holy grail of evolutionary psychology
AbstractAlthough the search for universal human traits is necessarily the principle focus of researchers in evolutionary psychology, the habitual reliance on undergraduate students introduces profound doubts concerning resulting data. Furthermore, the absence of relevant data from foraging societies undermines claims of cross-cultural universality in this paper and in many others. |

You can count me in for a few of the dog/puppy groups. I'll look through my pics and see what I can use.
I'm in for dog groups. Any chance you'd consider adding mini page kits? I'd love to see title + 2 elements. I probably won't sign up for the 2 inch letter groups...I struggle to use them. I would also be game for completed layouts if you were up for that.
Thanks, I'm happy to be here! I have a kitty but interested in dog groups too, I scrap for people who have dogs.
Ok great!! What kind of puppy? Aww, we'll miss you Lisa! Great Traci!! Sure, I can add mini page kits. I tried with the completed layouts last year and nobody wanted to do them, but I can put a group out there and see what happens. Ok great!!
I'm in for a couple dog letters and probably 1 element. I wouldn't mind doing a mini kit as well. My poor dog hasn't gotten any love since my kids were born and I do have pics that need to get on pages!
I would like to join too. Thinking about the dog element group and maybe two letter groups. Also interested in a mini kit element section. Thanks, Pam
Yay! It seems like there is interest after all in a mini kit group or two. I'm looking forward to sign ups. Are you going to update the first post to add more groups? Need to plan for sign ups, so I'll keep watching. Thanks for hostessing. I always look forward to this swap!
Thanks Traci! And yes, there is interest in mini-kits. All groups are edited/added and sign ups are open whenever you're ready!!
Morning! You added farm animals!! I'm soo excited, but it totaly changed what I was planning to sign up for. I have tons of pictures of my uncle's farm to scrap. So I would like: Group L (Meow):W P (On the Farm): H, R Group X: Farm Animals
Got you added! And sorry about the late change in groups...I didn't have a chance to look the whole swap over again and make changes until this morning before I opened it. I'm glad you're excited about the farm animals! I was thinking that would be a cute idea, and there are so many possibilities!

This paper presents an investigation into the loading response of a saturated, cohesive soil medium associated with a pile-soil system. An instrumented test pile was driven in order to determine the adequacy with which proposed theories describe the field response of a pile-soil system. The test pile was a 50-ft-long 16-in.-diameter steel pipe in which strain gages, accelerometers, and pressure transducers were installed. Field tests were performed at Beaumont, Tex., in a marine clay deposit. Stresses and accelerations developed in the pile were measured during driving. Pore water pressures were measured after driving for a period of approximately four weeks, or until the excess pore water pressure resulting from driving had dissipated, and during static load tests. Samples were taken of soil about the pile in various states of disturbance which varied with time and radial distance from the pile. Measurement of the engineering properties of these samples furnished an evaluation of the effect of different degrees of soil disturbance. Results obtained in this study indicate that soil disturbances and resulting excess pore water pressures associated with the driving of a large diameter pile are of greater magnitude and dimensional extent than previously thought. An evaluation is presented of the magnitude and general nature of the soil response to dynamic loadings of driving. Finally, results of static load tests performed approximately two and four weeks after driving furnish a measurement of ultimate bearing capacity as a function of time after driving.

Really good super-sweet tea that is very hard to brew bitter. Like one of the other reviewers I actually prefer Rishi's Golden Needle, but this tea is very similar although it has some sweet potato and peppery notes that the Golden Needle does not.

Significance and Use
This test method measures the amount of hexane-soluble lubricant present in all types of leather. Adequate lubrication prevents abrasion of leather fibers during flexing. This lubrication is generally obtained from the fat liquor added at the tannery. Some lubrication is also obtained from natural grease produced during the life of the animal.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the quantitative extraction of all types of leather with hexane. This test method does not apply to wet blue.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

How long have you been throwing around the term GORP? Do you know what GORP means? GORP is an acronym for "good old raisins and peanuts." GORP is a camping trip essential.
For a sweet crunch, add in a handful of M&M's. Whether you call it gorp, birdseed or trail mix, it's the back-pack snack of choice for hikers when energy or spirits sag. Invite your child to fill a sealable plastic bag with one of our mixes or invent his own blend of favorite dried fruits and nuts (sold in bulk at grocery stores).
Rain Forest Munch: Mix dried pineapple, dried papaya, unsweetened coconut flakes, macadamia nuts, cashews and chocolate chips.
Birdseed: Combine hulled sunflower seeds, raisins, peanuts and dried dates (the pellet-shaped ones, rolled in dried milk).
Morning Sunburst: Mix up an all-fruit body fuel with dried apples, pineapples, cranberries and cherries, as well as banana chips. and raisins. An added bonus: eating 1 cup of this will fulfill two of the five daily minimum requirements of fruits and vegetables.

Before you and your scout head out for an adventure, why not whip up a batch of trail mix--you never know when you're going to need an extra burst of energy. Pay a visit to your local natural food store or the natural food section of your supermarket. Purchase raisins and other dried fruit (apples and apricots are great), nuts, carob (or chocolate) chips and granola. Provide sandwich bags or plastic containers and have your child sprinkle some granola into each bag or container to give the trail mix some bulk. Then let your child experiment by adding various proportions of the other ingredients. (You'll probably want to limit the supply of carob or chocolate chips.)
Excellent Trail Mix Circle 10 Council
1 whole coconut
1/2 bag Mini M&M's
1 8-oz. bag sliced almonds
1 10-oz. bag dried bananas
1 bag Dole cinnamon raisins
Drain coconut of juice, crack open, separate meat from shell, peel and shred. Place on cookie sheet and dry in the oven at 150 degrees. Fluff occasionally to help dry quicker. When dried and cooled, place in a 1-gallon baggie and add other ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

Ladies and Gents, Please note that direct links, even to free APKs, aren't generally allowed here. This is usually considered copyright infringement. It is also a bit of a risk with regards to malware to download apps when you don't know the source. However, while you guys aren't in trouble, I'd like to take this chance to let you know about alternate ways of finding apps from legitimate download sites. Here are a few: Amazon AppStore SlideMe GetJar Also, if you find that an app shows as incompatible with your device, contact the dev! Usually they would want to know about this -- especially if it's a bug. And, if you want to see their app on a store like SlideMe, they will never know unless you ask them! Anyways, this is just a friendly PSA. Happy and safe downloading

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 egg beaten
1 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. Italian bread crumbs
1/2 stick butter
Cut each breast into two slices. Pound each slice on both sides to make tender - I skipped this step here. Sometimes I do it and sometimes I don't. To me the chicken taste great either way. If you do not have something already, this tenderizer from Pampared Chef is a great one. The round disk at the bottom unscrews and flips, allowing you to tenderize on one side and flatten on the other side.
Salt and pepper to taste. Dip in milk, dip in egg, and dip in seasoned bread crumbs.
These dipping trays are also from Papared Chef and I really like them.
Melt butter in hot skillet and place seasoned chicken in butter to brown on both sides until golden brown, but not cooked through. Just 2-4 minutes on each side.

Jet fuel from photosynthetic algae?
Some very interesting stuff in the video link below. I've been hoping something like this might be possible for a while, it just takes some people who are way smarter than me to figure out how to do it. Maybe there's hope yet...

That's exactly what I thought. Something like this would be a huge money-grab for someone, but it would be nice if it was the innovators who made it happen and not the already filty rich who could possibly leverage themselves in after the fact. And hopefully none of the money would end up going to the middle east oil cartels.

Resources Industry statistics Glass codes and updates Glass idea books Industry products
DOE eyes mandatory insulating glass certification
In a continued push for energy efficient and sustainable building products, the U.S. Department of Energy is investigating insulating glass certification requirements for manufacturers, says Margaret Webb, executive director of the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance in Ottawa, Ontario. DOE officials approached representatives from the National Fenestration Rating Council in Silver Spring, Md., to learn more about existing certification programs and to possibly incorporate an IG certification program into NFRC's ratings. At the NFRC meeting Nov. 6-9 Arlington, Va., four representatives from the certification and insulating glass sides of the industry, including Webb, spoke to membership about existing programs, the benefits of these programs and possible ways to incorporate them into the organization for the DOEs needs. There are four IG certification programs for the North American market, all voluntary, said Marcia Falke, president of Keystone Certification Inc. in Etters, Pa. This past month, Keystone Certification became the certification program administrator for IGMA. The IG certification programs test the durability of a units seal and its ability to retain gas fill, which directly relates to a units thermal and energy performance, Falke said. The IG unit does affect how much heat loss youre going to get through your windows, so the long-term durability of glass is important. It has a big effect on the performance of a window, Falke said. In response to the DOE request, NFRC created the IG Durability Task Group a year ago. The DOE is looking at requirements for IG certification and wanting to know how many of the current windows that are out there or that are being manufactured are certified, Webb said. The IG Durability Task Group is working to get hard numbers. John G. Kent, administrator for the Insulating Glass Certification Council in Henderson Harbor, N.Y., estimates that fewer than half of all IG manufacturers certify their products. So, a mandatory program could alter the certification industry, Kent said. Our certification programs are all voluntary, he said. When considering a requirement for IG certification, we have to also consider testing capacity. Currently, most of IG testing companies are at or near capacity, so if the need for more testing goes up, how do you come up with places to test? Once more concrete figures are obtained about the number of certified IG units, the NFRC task group will have to work to address feasibility issues. The organization also will have to choose whether to require manufacturers to participate in one of the other certification programs, or to create its own internal program, Falke said.

Deaf, Three-Legged Dog Survives a Week Lost in Alaskan Bear Country
Stories about dogs who wander away from campsites and get lost in the woods are terribly sad. Those stories would be even sadder if it was a deaf dog who only had three legs, and was 15 years old, and entered a wilderness that was filled -- literally overflowing -- with bears.
Meet Mazzy Star, the deaf, three-legged, 15-year-old Husky who wandered away from the campsite in Alaska's Russian River area and into a wilderness that was filled, literally overflowing, with bears.
First, let's speak to how many bears are in the area. According to the Alaska Dispatch, "Black bears were trashing tents in the campground. Grizzly sows and their cubs were wandering the banks." That's a lot of bears, by any measure, but especially by the measure of me sitting in at this desk.
Mazzy Star had come to the area with the Clydes -- a family of self-described "river-traveler tent people," according to the Dispatch -- and two other dogs. All three dogs had kennels to sleep in, under an trailer overhang to protect against rain. But in the morning, Mazzy was gone, the kennel door somehow unlatched. Mazzy had gone off into the wilderness, which contains "dozens of bear pathways laced throughout the area," according to the Clyde couple.
Rescue efforts were quickly launched.
"Campground employees helped search the thick, brush-filled woods," reports the Dispatch. "Four of them even scrambled down a steep 100-foot ravine from the campground to the river below, climbing through cottonwood and spruce trees and withstanding scrapes delivered by thorny plants."
"If we found anything, we were expecting to find a body," said Dianne Owen, the campground's general manager.
The Clydes remained at the campground, searching, and the days passed. After a week, they knew they had to go; along with their two young boys, the couple also had an 18-month-old. Jobs and school had to be attended to. Life had to go on.
So, with heavy hearts, they left.
"Leaving a dog who you think had a horrible ending, who was expecting you to save her somehow, was just terrible," Karen told the Dispatch. "I just had to say bye to her and realize that I wasn't going to see her. Chances are she'd been eaten. I had this horrible feeling in my stomach the whole way."
Steady yourself. This story has a happy ending.
One day after the family arrived home, Karen received a call. Mazzy was safe. Eight days after she had run off, she was found trotting down the road near the campground. One of the campground employees drove by in disbelief.
"When I got out of the truck she hopped right over and looked at me with 'Wow, I am safe now' eyes," he told the Dispatch. "You could tell she had been giving it her all. It seemed like she hadn't stopped to rest the whole time she had been gone."
Mazzy was a little worse for wear -- she was tired and dirty, and had lost weight and some fur on her tail -- but very alive. Karen's husband drove 15 hours straight to go pick her up.
When he arrived, Mazzy's "ears perked, tail wagged, and she walked over to his side."

Well, are the stealth mounts ready for MK5 based cars?
Is there a solution you guys can recommend?
I just installed the mounts yesterday (trouble-free, and first impressions are good) but the charcoal canister is kinda hangin' out there now (held on in pretty tenuous manner by just a couple of bolts). Is there a solution you can recommend (other than cobbling something together with bits of wire & rusty old bolts from the bottom of the toolkit)?
Also, FYI the RHS mount (timing belt end) where the plate afixes to the body (i.e. body side; not engine), the front screw (OEM) is a little too long, and use of a washer was required. Rear one no issue as you include a space in the kit.
What are the torque specs for these bolts (both sides)? That kinda info would be useful as a packing insert with the kit BTW.

With 1,000kms and a good hard thrash down some awesome B-roads under my belt since installation, its timely to share impressions of the Whiteline Anti-lift Kit (WALK) and BFI Stage 1 engine & transmission mounts. Im providing feedback jointly as they were installed jointly and as vibration can be a key negative byproduct of both products.
My motivations in installing these were:
- Mounts: With more than 400Nm, I could feel the relatively soft OEM mounts allowing the drivetrain to cant under power; I also could feel it shifting around during cornering/braking. Id installed a torque arm insert earlier in an effort to quell this sloppy feeling, but it didnt deliver the result I was after.
- Arms: I'm very particular about handling Id much rather weave through corners than drive flat-out in a straight line so anything that promised to improve responses while dialing out understeer was going to be of interest; and WALK has received rave reviews elsewhere. These replaced some S3 control arms which frankly were pretty underwhelming.
Vibration is the big worry for anyone installing things like this and everyone is different, so reading reviews really doesnt help. One guys OK vibes is another's nightmare. So it was a relief when upon initial start-up after install I felt less vibes than expected. Aircon on and still not atrocious (though certainly more noticeable than stock). Moving off, no huge shudders. Revving, a much more earthy thrum; same at steady presence during cruising. Not objectionable, but noticeable.
And over the next 1,000kms it pretty much stayed that way, gradually reducing with time to the point that it now feels barely any different (vibe-wise) from stock. Though to be clear, there were vibes in fact, things I didnt even know existed were vibrating. And when theyd stop other things took over. It was a symphony of vibration but eventually it settled. Given I'm particular about NVH, for me to be OK with it says a lot. I still feel/hear the more guttural thrum of the car under acceleration and I like it.
The feeling of the car is fantastic very dialed-in and planted thanks to a combination of less engine movement and more precise front steering/suspension control + geometry (caster) change. Turn-in feels razor-sharp, with minimal lost movement, after which the car tracks straight & true with no feeling of the nose washing wide. Power can be applied earlier & harder when pushing out of bends, with less wheel scrabble.
Given the very reasonable pricing on these products, and the benefit they deliver, I can absolutely recommend them to fellow enthusiasts. Re. WALK, I can totally see what the hype is about. Re. the BFI mounts, Im pleased I selected their Stage 1 set-up, which at 65 duro is harder than their Stealth product (50 duro) but not so hard as VF, BSH, etc. (80-90 duro) For comparison, stock is 45 duro.
Install of both can be done by a capable mechanic, though you will need replacement OEM bolts (as these are one-time-use stretch bolts) and the correct torque specs. If you dont want your old control arms, its possible to whack them off without needing to loosen the subframe. A post-install alignment is required either way.

Stage 1 is a waste of your time. If anyone is thinking about getting them go for stage 2. I got mine and I love it. Thanks
My stock mounts are crap now, so im saving up for these babies.
thinking about ordering some stealth or stage 1 mounts for the girlfriend's car and painting or powder-coating the metal bits.
That's what I thought since you guys did not have them for a while already. That sucks I really wanted the stealth mounts over all others. Stage1 will cause cabin vibration, correct. I will pm you guys.

I ordered the stg.2, supposed be here sometime this week, my engine moves a lot. Cant wait to get these in
I have the dogbone right now I put that one in myslef, but was a pian in the ass, these Im going to a shop
to have the put in, unless im able to do this. Im waiting on the side and tranny. If there preasembled, how hard is it to get them installed.
Feel free to take a look at our install guides, which can be found here: http://blackforestindustries.com/ser...l#instructions to see the steps necessary for the installation of your mounts.
just installed my stg 2 mounts and they're outstanding. link to my review thread....
Ive had these for like 2 months now, at first I thought man the vibration is pretty extreme, but thats because I drive an hour to and from work, but they have broken in and it still vibrates, but it feels more rugged and like a race car, shifts are better, I find myself driving the car hard more than before. On the freeway from 60 an up there's a rumble from the engine and mounts its really deep its not bad, depends on the person. I recommend these mounts to anyone that doesn't mind a more rugged ride.
i spend more time in the higher rpm ranges since i got mine. the car/exhaust sounds so much meaner now!
I've had my stage 2 mounts installed since July. Still loving them!
All their mounts are of the highest quality. I highly recommend them!
Any comments about cabin vibrations in cold temperatures for stage 1? (-25)
Just installed my stage 2 mounts super easy job took me about n hr to do. currently have stage 2 motor, tranny, and dogbone insert.
The car feels great. Vibration increases really only at idle. Been about 1,000 mi since install. And the motor sounds much happier
BFI makes awesome stuff!

Are these worthwhile for a stock car or are they really only needed if you're running stage 2 and up mods? Thinking of chipping my car and possibly getting some aftermarket engine mounts to cut down on the sloppy feeling it has off the line.
Regardless of what performance upgrades you have or plan on having, you will notice vast improvements in feel and shifting when upgrading any of your motor mounts. You should consider the torque arm insert as one of your initial upgrades due to it's ease of installation and affordability. More info can be found on our site here: http://store.blackforestindustries.c...oarmin091.html
this may be a n00b / dumb question but I def. want the engine and transmission mounts... do I only need one mount for each? Is there more than 1 engine mount that would need to be replaced to be done correctly? (flame suit is on)

Marijuana tax rates and regulation are up for debate Friday in the Colorado House.
Pot legalization activists say there is also another effort underway in the state Capitol - an effort to possibly repeal marijuana legalization.
House members are scheduled to vote on a 30 percent pot tax and a separate regulation bill on how pot should be grown and sold.
Meanwhile, some lawmakers are considering an attempt to change the tax measure. The change would say that marijuana legalization would be repealed if the 30 percent taxes aren't approved.
Expect a lot of intense behind-the-scenes negotiating in the legislature's final few days over how to regulate and tax pot, and whether it's possible to take legalization back to voters.
Marijuana legalization could hinge on tax approval
Lawmakers want to repeal legalization if 30 percent tax not approved

| Shopping Cart Need Ideas?
(Mon-Fri 8am-7pm EST) |
Nearly any item can be imprinted with a logo, and office products are no exception. Have your employees use desk items that display the company�s logo. From desk clocks to notepads, any item that an employee uses on a day-to-day basis can display your brand. These promotional office items range from those kept on a desk to those taken to network events, so, in our out of the office, your brand is represented. When considering the items your employees keep on their desks, all have space to display a logo, from the smallest pencil sharpener to a paperweight. These two items and more can be imprinted with a logo to be seen around the office and, also, off the job. Some of the larger promotional office products we carry include paperweights, nameplates, desk clocks, desk organizers, and notepads. A logo is, then, engraved, imprinted, or silk screened on to the surface of the product. Many smaller items for your employees and other business peers can also display a logo. In our selection, this includes several common desk items, such as calculators, rulers, picture frames, letter openers, and memo organizers. Outside of the office, these can be distributed at job fairs and networking events and even on business trips to a client. Although having promotional office products is a way to be seen amongst your business peers, it�s an easy way to represent yourself at various job fairs and networking functions. For specific networking items, we have imprinted business card holders and, to take notes, bring a notepad displaying your company�s brand visible. Additionally, at a job fair, have your representatives distribute small office items to prospective job candidates. From calculators and rulers to clips and scissors, many smaller items for everyday use can display your business�s logo.

Collage Postcards
Isn't that tattooed man the BOSS?! I decided that I need to start doing a little bit more collage because I have tons of pages out of books, ephemera, scraps, etc. that I need to start using up so I can justify keeping the other awesome pages, ephemera, scraps, etc. that I come across :) So I'm turning back and restarting my efforts to use up things by making postcards. This one is a little more random. Kitties and Coke.

Nankai Pro Racing Gloves
Original Article: Nankai Pro Racing Gloves Please discuss the Motorcycle.com article Nankai Pro Racing Gloves in our Motorcycle Forums below. Use the reply button to let others know your comments or feedback on the article. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, along with your thoughts and personal opinions on the bikes and products we have tested. |
the idiots at motorcycle.com took a cheap old pair of Nankai form 1996 and f'ed up the reputaion! Such morons they are, but no surprise there, look at their test crew, retards ...
Not to mention they are all on payroll by the big guys... and the incentives, free gifts, etc... Hi end nankai gloves are top notch actualy and fit amzingly well, unless Spencer and rainey, etc... were all as stupid as motorcycle.com crew... ! I doubt that. I have tried every glove including Held, which i thought was the best untill i crashed with them because the palm tended to roll on the grip and stick like glue! To make it worst there is no feel at all, its too damn thick. Thats why hi end racers do NOT use them, NO FEEL whatsoever, NONE ..! Its like wearing a fat condom and pretending the sex is good because you are protected ... :lol: |
Ooops completly miss read your post. The article was written in 1996, at least that was the date on it. Sorry to hear about your Held gloves. Mine are thin and tend to let the most vibration through of all of my gloves. Of course I only wear Steves.
